Testimonials

My wife and I believed we’d never be able to afford our own home. We were crammed into a one bedroom and as our 5 year old daughter Casey got older, we felt like her toys were taking over the whole livingroom. When the housing market crashed, homes that we had always driven by were suddenly for sale. With the grant we received, we were able to put a down payment on the home of our dreams. And now our daughter has a playroom and I’ve got my livingroom back!

When my father was diagnosed with Alzheimers, we were panicked how to get him the care he needed. We were floored by the raising costs of his medical bills, supplies, not mention prescriptions. The personal grant we were awarded helped keep our heads above water and managed to allow my father to find the right nursing home and maintain his dignity through this difficult time.

When the economic crisis hit, I thought I’d never have the chance to get my Online Business off the ground.
Everyone told me to stop dreaming and move on. But thanks in part to this business seed grant, I managed to turn my lay-off into a real opportunity. Starting a business has been a huge undertaking and a ton of hard work, but I hope to be profitable next year, and nothing can beat being my own boss.
